Description
| Online Aggressiveness | This setting controls how aggressively the vehicle steers to remain on the guidance line. |
| Operator Alert Timeout | To verify the presence of the operator, a warning appears periodically. The warning requires you to acknowledge it to remain in normal automatic mode. This setting controls the frequency of the warning. The Operator Alert Timeout cannot be disabled. |
| End of Row Warning Distance | This warning appears when you are at the specified distance from the end of the current row. To make the warning appear earlier, increase the End of Row distance. This can be helpful if the operator is likely to be distracted (for example, by monitoring other equipment during operation). |
| NMEA Output | You can enable or disable NMEA message output from the Autopilot controller laptop port. If NMEA messages are enabled, you can configure which formats are output and the baud rate. Note — Ensure that the baud rate you select is the same as that of the device that is receiving the messages. |
| Download / Upload Custom Configuration File | You can save or restore a custom system configuration file from the Autopilot controller. To download a file, you are required to enter a name for the file. |
